This is Santa!

I had the pleasure of working with Santa last week and oh my goodness!

What a big galoof! His owner feared his energy and bad habits would cause her to get rid of him due to her disability.

Fortunately for Santa , she was also very open to admitting that she was the reason for his habits :)

He's so smart! But equally as stubborn♡

This only thing better then a great lesson is a great follow up text from a happy owner who feels they now have hope !♡

I pulled one off Peter 2 weeks ago!

A renowned expert on the bedeviling bugs says they’re still active in winter. Jonathan MacInnis reports.

Smelly and Peter want to remind everyone to keep checking your dogs for ticks!

Pulled one of Peter yesterday . It was tiny+

That's the joys of ticks this time of the year, they're still here and they're so freaking small and hard to spot.

Give your dogs a good rub down ♡

These beautiful days are few and far between!

Soon winter will bring cold days and we will move away from the Shoreline hikes and take shelter in the forest!

Get out and enjoy the good ones♡

Just a little warning regarding the treats many stores are now starting to stock for dogs at Christmas.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas.

The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.
Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.
On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking.
The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away for later, then dispatch in the bin!

Please be safe with your dogs!

This is heartbreaking.
We obviously don't know all the details but I'll stick to my guns when saying babies/kids and dogs should NEVER be left without full supervision. I have no intent on shaming the family by saying that, even they say the dog had shown no signs of agression before.

It isn't worth the risk.

A woman was killed by a dog in her rural home Saturday as she attempted to protect a young child, according to RCMP.The boxer/pit bull cross attacked a two-and-a-half-year-old girl on a farm north …

Popped down to work with Sabrina and Jax today after receiving messages of:

"On a scale from 1-10 (10 being the worst), about a 13 🤦🏼‍♀️" and "I truly feel he’s unfixable. I’ve tried everything ugh"

Jax was a puller! Little too much energy jammed inside that fluffy body!

Happy to report Jax was a rockstar learning not to drag people down the road...and Sabrina didn't do so bad either! 😁
